In the middle of December 2023, 7-year-old Graciana was exposed to an accident where she was severely burned on her stomach, both groins, the upper part of both thighs as well as her buttocks and back.

In April 2024, Graciana was operated by Dr. Eriksen during his visit to KCMC, where her groin and thigh were prioritized.

It was a long and cumbersome operation, as a lot of scar tissue had to be oxidized away. When many weeks / months pass after the injury before surgery can be carried out, there are ALWAYS challenges. The operations take much longer time and, as in this case with chronic open wounds, it is also more difficult to get the grafts to heal.

During the weeks after the operation, Graciana has received daily wound care in the Burn Unit while she has waited for the next round of operations – scheduled for mid-June, when Dr. Eriksen again visits KCMC ❤️
